Financial Markets: Tech Earnings Support Risk-On Mood; Inflation Expectations Weigh on Bonds
Financial markets are leaning on the technology sector to maintain their risk-on stance, while the stalemate in the Middle East risks becoming prolonged. Strong earnings from the semiconductor sector are also supporting emerging equities, which are rising alongside the US and leaving European markets behind. The Dow/Gold ratio is approaching resistance at its long-term moving average, while inflation expectations are weighing on bonds. Futures indicate a positive start for both Europe and the United States.

Financial markets sentiment
Financial markets are showing a moderately positive sentiment today. Intermarket analysis highlights a Market Health Score of 68/100 (positive). Looking at our intermarket dashboards, three key considerations stand out: the Dow/Gold ratio is nearing resistance at its long-term moving average; the strengthening of the technology sector continues, while the S&P 500/VIX ratio remains stable; oil continues to be relatively strong compared to gold, and inflation expectations remain elevated.
In summary, this reflects a moderately risk-on environment, where the technology sector is driving the rebound in equities, while bonds are pressured by inflation expectations and higher interest rates. This appears to be the signal markets are currently sending.
The analysis of asset classes confirms this view, with equities remaining upward-oriented, while bonds are trading below the 50-day moving average.
Our “weather map” confirms the picture: technology and oil remain above 60 points in the health score, while geographically, European equities are weaker than those in the US and emerging markets. The latter are benefiting from strong tech data, while the Old Continent is suffering from the energy crisis.
